Peerbolt Crop Management works with northwest berry growers

Raspberries	Blueberries	Blackberries	Strawberries

In the field and online, berry growers can find answers and get help

We offer growers IPM scouting and consulting services. In addition, we also provide support services for the region’s small fruit commodity commissions and conduct on-farm research in cooperation with public sector researchers . For the past five years we have produced the Small Fruit Update, a weekly IPM email newsletter for the region’s berry industry. Early in 2005 we launched Northwest IPM Berry Guide to help growers identify pest insects and diseases. The identification guide also has information for each insect and disease about chemical and biological controls, cultural controls, and scouting. The website also has an up-to-date pesticide guide, a directory of industry resources,and a calendar of small fruits events, meetings, workshops, etc. In 2007, we created Ag Reports, an online reporting system for the growers who contract for our services. You can get a demonstration of its capabilities on the home page. In 2008, we created Berry Innovation News, an online trade magazine for that posts articles, videos, and slide shows about innovative ideas for the berry industry.

Our goal is to support a strong and viable small fruit industry in the northwest by:
1) Providing the region’s growers and industry with the information they need when they need it.
2) Partnering with the public agricultural research community and commodity commissions to maintain and enhance our small fruits research base.
